7 Horror Games They Banned for No Good Reason

Again, it feels "for a reason, whether plot or character or "because he's craaaazy" -- which is its own problem. Manhunt 2 makes it the core game? I guess that's my point.

At least based on this video's coverage, in my opinion, based on yada yada, not an expert.

Manhunt 2 does seem more about gratuitous attacks rather than having any real point to any of it. I argue it's different from the scene with Trevor (or whatever his name is. The GTA dude with the teeth pulling).

On Rule of Rose, I would absolutely say the camera angles and movement reeeeally make it seem different, yo. No reason to linger on kids' legs like that. At least the trailer or whatever the first segment about it is.

Thaura | Your Ethical AI Companion Ethical AI built by Syrian engineers. We stand with Palestine, never take military contracts, and never train on your data. Big Tech fuels oppression—we fuel resistance.

I really enjoyed Dr. Fatima's video, How to (Anti) AI Better, from 2 weeks ago.
Also Thaura is an AI that might be worth swapping to, for anyone who does find their tools useful.
Ideal? No. But presumably better than the other options.

Also PillowFort is really helpful for anything fan-related. Again: PF has its own issues, but both problem sets are way, WAY easier to deal with than anything on main / advertised platforms.

LGBTQIA.Space This is a cute server for all LGBTQIA ppl out there that want a caring and safe environment. If you are part of the LGBTQIA community you are very cordially invited to join this server.

It doesn't fix everything and has its own problems, but Mastodon is pretty cool.
I use LGBTQIA.space
The BlackMastodon hashtag is really helpful to counter some of the default hWhiteness.
Other good servers? Eldritch.cafe was my 1st choice until I forgot my login.

42:00 Feeling like everyone is staring at you, and knows things they couldn't possibly know / care about, and they're judging you for it are all... not particularly healthy.
44:00 also yes, that is or at least was true. Landlords DGAF about anyone on benefits, or parents, or unemployed people, etc.
